Gruffydd Wyn Roberts will compete against 10 other contestants in Sunday night’s live show and if he listens hard he will probably hear the cheers from Amlwch Port where hundreds, including friends, family and colleagues are expected to gather.

MAD owner Arwel Hughes said: “ He went through at 10pm, at 10.10pm I got a call to the pub where they’d already started a meeting. By 10.30pm, I’d already booked the screen, by 11pm we’d got the stewards and first aiders sorted, and by midnight we had £2000 pledged in donations.

“On Thursday, my phone was red hot all day. We’ve organised a full event with all the licences, first aid, toilets, skips, you name it, it’s happening. Posters and banners have been made, his family’s involved, he’s even involved, we’re in contact with him.
